The Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys play in the Saturday evening divisional playoff game. Between the two teams, there are two former Arizona Cardinals players.

On the Rams, they have safety Marqui Christian.

He was drafted in the fifth round in 2016 by the Cardinals but cut during his rookie season. The Rams claimed him off waivers and he has been with them ever since. He played in all 16 games this season and had 36 tackles and one broken up pass.

For Dallas, their one former Cardinals player is cornerback C.J. Goodwin.

Goodwin spent the end of 2017 with the Cardinals after he was claimed off waivers. He played in two games for Arizona and was re-signed in the offseason. He was waived after the draft.

He played in three games for the Cowboys this season. He joined the team in October, landed on injured reserve and then was reinstated the final week of the regular season.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson was one of three Cardinals to be named to the NFL All-Decade team in April, recognizing the best players from 2010-2019. As he made the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons, it makes sense.

However, coming off a pair of tough seasons personally, it meant a lot to him.
